It's also easy to set up.""We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one."

"The most valuable feature is the Glass Tables. It gives you a nice, good overview of your KPIs.

Cons
"When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""The usability must be better.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players.""The product could be easy to use.""It's a very complex solution.""An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release.""The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"The data recovery has room for improvement.""Predictive analytics, in terms of preventing incidents before they occur, still needs time to mature.""We experience occasional delays in receiving solutions from Splunk technical support. Splunk's support for P3 cases seems inadequate, as they frequently switch support personnel. For instance, in a single P3 case, we had three different technical support representatives assigned. We were ultimately forced to escalate the issue to our account manager to get it resolved. In essence, we never receive complete support from a single point of contact; instead, the support team keeps changing, necessitating us to explain the problem from scratch each time.""We also faced challenges relating to UI development.""After upgrading Splunk ITSI from version 4.11 to 4.13, the analyzer stopped finding values for KPS and services.""I believe the refresh time should be faster.""The license cost is expensive.""Integration is the most critical area to improve in Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI). It wasn't a great experience because you had to do a little back and forth to integrate the solution."
